You can run the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server on the local computer or on a remote computer. The LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server window appears when you compile a VI for the FPGA on the local computer or when you manually launch the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server by selecting Start»All Programs»National Instruments»LabVIEW 8.2»LabVIEW FPGA Utilities»Compile Server on the remote computer. You also can launch the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server manually by selecting Tools»FPGA Module»Start Local Compile Server. You can disconnect from the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server to continue working in LabVIEW while the server compiles the FPGA VI.

Use this window to view information about a compilation.

Note  The LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server does not close automatically when compilation finishes. You can close it by clicking the Stop Server button.

This window contains the following components:

• Compile Status—Displays status information for the current compile. The Compile Status section is disabled until the compile begins.
  • Server Service ID—Displays a number that is associated with the VI you are compiling. To view past compiles, click the Compile List button, and enter the Server Service ID in the numeric control to view the compilation report.
  • Client Name—Displays the name of the computer on which the FPGA VI resides.
  • Client Service ID—Displays the ID that is associated with the VI that is being compiled.
  • Status—Displays the status of the compilation. Status updates throughout the compilation.
  • Start Time—Displays the time that the server started compiling the VI.
  • Last Update Time—Displays the time that the Compile Status information was last updated.
  • Details—Displays information about the conversion of the VI into the bitstream that is downloaded to the FPGA.
• Stop Compile—Cancels the current compile. This button does not shut down the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server window.
• Compile List—Displays the Manage All Server Records dialog box, which you can use to browse all past compiles and current compiles in the compile queue. You also can use the Manage All Server Records dialog box to delete information about old or unwanted LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server compiles.
• Server Status—Displays the status of the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server.
• Stop Server—Shuts down the server. Stopping the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server cancels current compilations.
• Configure—Displays the Configure Server dialog box. Use the Configure Server dialog box to configure properties for the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server. You can fix timeout errors that appear when the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server sends or receives files by increasing the Network timeout (ms) value. Modify the Port number if the default port, 96, conflicts with ports on the network. If you modify the Port number, you must modify it in the Configure Server dialog box and in the Configure Compile Settings dialog box.
